The Calcite Creek fire in British Columbia's southern Interior is no longer considered a"wildfire of note," leaving three such blazes throughout the province.
That leaves the 1.8-square-kilometre Corya Creek blaze in the Northwest Fire Centre as the only wildfire of note continuing to burn out of control in the province, as the 40-square-kilometre Komonko Creek wildfire in southeastern B.C. has also lost the"wildfire of note" designation despite remaining out of control.
In the Yukon, meanwhile, smoke from a wildfire in the western part of the territory is reaching as far as Whitehorse, about 425 kilometres to the southeast.
